mircea_popescu: well no, that doesn'
t work. by the time the power differential's inclined like that, the prison is a walled compound called the kremlin or something.
mircea_popescu: i can'
t really imagine mp doing much more than mocking the parole board.
mircea_popescu: What do you get when ego and id aren'
t in conflict, in fact, they team up, against a common enemy-- reality? A reality which must often be denied in order to get some id-iPal satisfaction? You get America. What do you get when you get so good at denial, that you extend it to the inevitable? You get American zombies: denial of death.
mircea_popescu: and now he can'
t say anything because he already used his ugh.
funkenstein_: really inexcusable i didn'
t find that with test before submission
trinque: I don'
t know why that article called it a kernel module; it was the "ok google" plugin
trinque: sure but iirc it still has google strange in it, doesn'
t it?
funkenstein_: Exoplanet folks want all light curve changes to be planets, this one - doesn'
t look like a planet, so instead people are saying "alien structure". Stellar variability seems likely to me.
shinohai: Isn'
t astrology just as smoke-and-mirrory as religion?
mircea_popescu: "And in Georgia, a state appeals court in 2004 upheld a hospital's decision to kick Dr. Donald Ray Taylor off its staff. The anesthesiologist had admitted giving young female patients rectal and vaginal exams without documenting why. He'd also been accused of exposing women's breasts during medical procedures. When confronted by a hospital official, Taylor said, "Maybe I am a pervert, I honestly don'
t know," according
mircea_popescu: "That's narcissism-- "writ large" as they say in magazines that suck. Even if the drugs made him completely insane, the fact is that he regularly puts himself in situations that involve something getting punched, and the only explanation for that is that he doesn'
t see rules as objectively applying to him, he only sees his behavior as situational, in his context. In other words, there's always this: "well, hold on,
t mircea_popescu: ""He's not a bad guy, he just has a problem." Actually, you have that backwards, he doesn'
t have a problem, he is a bad guy. I know this because he beat up (allegedly, at least) two women. This isn'
t the place to get into whether the bitch done deserved it, running her mouth all damn night long, the point is his thinking about it. If I (allegedly) beat up a girlfriend, I'd feel TREMENDOUS guilt, I would really have
BingoBoingo: "She animatedly tells a story about a recent Tinder rendezvous: “One time, I agreed to meet with this guy at 8 or 9 at night. Before we met, I said to him, ‘This is the work I do, I know the chief of police ... so, don'
t try and get creepy; I know all my rights.’ And five minutes later, he was like, ‘Actually, I'm really not OK with how you just assume I'm a bad guy. And I get very bad vibes from that, so we shouldn'
t hang
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (google uses the gpl as a urinal and has, for years. this is not, i think, a secret.) << "don'
t be evil"!11
mircea_popescu: "Partial isolated prolactin deficiency is rare, and case reports of total isolated prolactin deficiency are rarer still and may have a genetic component (ie, familial puerperal alactogenesis). Although the endocrine and metabolic function of prolactin is not fully understood, the clinical manifestation of prolactin deficiency is probably limited to puerperal alactogenesis." << sayeth Charles
T Benson, MD, PhD
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but the way this works isn'
t like the man in the iron mask. the way this works is to create a fetish of power. "why is X no longer Y ? how can Z become now Y ?" "it's the mask, stupid"
mircea_popescu: ask pet how does she square the fact that women can'
t be seen without makeup/their pursew with the fact that most of their existence they spend without either ?
BingoBoingo: Well, they way they've handled it in the past is they just change actors and STFU. In the past 12 years the Hulk was Eric Bana, then it was Edward Norton, the Mark something or other. Cattle doesn'
t care.
pete_dushenski: much younger and he's just 'enjoying life', much older and he wouldn'
t be blogging.
pete_dushenski: ballas isn'
t even fiesty nor viligent enough to block spam from coming through. "hermes bags! cheap jeans!" abound.
pete_dushenski: you think it'd be that different ? he doesn'
t seem like much of a boxer
mircea_popescu: that's why chris rock / chapelle were so important. they didn'
t make it tho.
mircea_popescu: "From this very clear description of the problem comes the most terrible solution imaginable: let's go back to the authoritarian approach." << exactly. there is a reason the schelling points of failing socialism are always PERSONS. you don'
t like colbert, pick another Dear Leader. what you can not do is go all "country of laws not men", that's dead.
mircea_popescu: what doesn'
t work is you derping about how things shiould be. never has. never will.
mircea_popescu: capitalims got you from where your president couldn'
t afford to pay the bill to stay in a hotel in Europe, so he had to stay in the stable section of a cheap inn, to where you could derp about how things should be. it works.
mircea_popescu: "hey, i didn'
t lose any weight on that mcdonalds diet - because corporations are evil ; nor when i went to that magical fairy wicca woman, because she was a scammer. but it didn'
t even work while i was PRETENDING to be working out while watching chicks work out on tv! clearly dieting doesn' work! certainly being fat is the natural state of stupid people!"
mircea_popescu: now they move on to pretending like the failure of the third attempt as socialism was really called for no reason "capitalism" and lo and behold, socialism failing EVEN WHEN IT MASQUERADES AS CAPITALISM proves ~capitalism~ doesn'
t work.
mircea_popescu: gotta hand it to the socialist mind. after having spent 50 years explaining how the predictable, obvious and necessary failures of both socialist systems seen to date "aren'
t really failures of socialism - because the nazis were evil and stalin was wrong),
mircea_popescu: Women didn'
t earn this over the resistance of an old boy network; the media conglomerates decided it would be awesome to televise a hyperfemale in a locker room with a nearly naked hypermale and pretend there's no sexuality implied. So anything that goes wrong is between individuals, nothing to do with the Machine.
mircea_popescu: didn'
t you get banned for spamming something or the other
mircea_popescu: and if key X took a fart in gimp-v-0.9 big deal, this won'
t see it anyway.
mod6: yeah. that patch won'
t be added into the mirror. now if someone wants to try out his patch locally, they'll have to pull his vpatch, and add his key to the wot manually and then see what happens if they want to press out a branch that includes that vpatch.
mircea_popescu: do not sign in the manner of v stuff you don'
t intend to be in v
mircea_popescu: and notice that it was interestinfg to them PRECISELY because a) he did what they don'
t do (go for a woman) and b) it blew up in a way threy like.
mircea_popescu: "There is a terrible, terrible, ugly truth underlying all of this, and that is that taxes don'
t matter to a government that can print money. The government collected $2.4T and spent $3.6T. They'll take what they get, of course, but if they had collected $2T or $3T you/they would not have noticed. The country isn'
t a household, it is a bank, and as long as the rest of the world believes "we're good for it," then we a

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-10-2015#1307597 << WITHOUT EXCEPTION this kind of thing is said by people who, if you were to wire them to the mains to get the truth, will admit that they see any disease that doesn'
t show up on a blood test or xray as 'in your mind'
mircea_popescu: "I still can'
t believe this! All this hype for something so ridiculous! Who cares about an MP3 player? I want something new! I want them to think differently!
mats: i can'
t say i know enough to address your claims
mats: i haven'
t read through all the patchsets, so can'
t say exhaustively which does what, etc
mircea_popescu: your parents aren'
t supposed to understand YOU. they're supposed to understand the world.
mircea_popescu: way to go. ps : it isn'
t abuse just because it leaves you outside, feeling inadequate.
punkman: old women that can'
t afford motorized dildo?
trinque: I don'
t tend to "abuse" substances
gabriel_laddel: well, that is a fair point, but I don'
t want to e.g., lose weight.
gabriel_laddel: And this is sort of what I'm getting at - people differ greatly. Modafinil doesn'
t work for me, some people can'
t take caffine before bed, some people can'
t drink and have sex (MP's eugenics article) and some can.
punkman: gabriel_laddel: doesn'
t the coffee pill make your sleep weird?
gabriel_laddel: (for the record, taking a regular caffine pill before sleep doesn'
t wok)
trinque: except I didn'
t give a fuck to, and my mother woke me up with breakfast and all my shit ready to go
gabriel_laddel: trinque: you'd think that. but I've missed events I *really* wanted to attend because I wouldn'
t wake
trinque: if you're bitching about waking up in the morning I think you haven'
t suffered enough
trinque: or maybe *you* wouldn'
t but the normal human mind can decide it can do all kinds of things when it must
gabriel_laddel: yeah, I don'
t know what this "being a man" stuff is about
gabriel_laddel: I understand the point you're making, but simply don'
t find that it applies to my situation.
mircea_popescu: there's somewhere in the log this observation, you can'
t learn medicine on yourself.
mircea_popescu: it's an industrial fucking product, you think they don'
t know what you know ?
mircea_popescu: <gabriel_laddel> and then I spend more time hacking apart portage than I would have otherwise << no you don'
t. this is like the ridiculous notion of teenagers that they'll make a car "better".
trinque: fascinating, I didn'
t say it was for that
gabriel_laddel: trinque: so wait, you don'
t get more absorbed in whatever you're doing when drinking coffee?
gabriel_laddel: trinque: the problem I have with being coffee-free isn'
t the stress, but rather that I miss having my thoughts race around
trinque: my only point is I wouldn'
t self diagnose "I need meds" before dropping your caffeine to zero, seeing where you're at
gabriel_laddel: and this goes away completely when I don'
t drink a lot of coffee
gabriel_laddel: like, you're just standing and then the stray thought "hey, it'd be nice to fall into bed, except there isn'
t a bed her" flies through your mind?
mats: someone hasn'
t read mp's thing about address reuse
gabriel_laddel: I asked someone who was around, he claims that he "couldn'
t distinguish it from coffee"
